17: Letter Combinations of a Phone Number
https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/letter-combinations-of-a-phone-number/

Given a digit string, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent.
A mapping of digit to letters (just like on the telephone buttons) is given below.


Input:Digit string "23"
Output: ["ad", "ae", "af", "bd", "be", "bf", "cd", "ce", "cf"].

===Comments by Dabay===
比较典型的递归调用。
每次消化掉一个字数，把其对应的字母和已有的字符串做笛卡尔乘积。
